About Me

I am a lucky man, fortunate to be able to feed my wife, my baby boy and myself by teaching guitar and playing music, and to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

I offer you my EP for free download, no strings.Hope you are smiling.Chris x"...It's Sunday and you're sitting on the porch with a beer...gentle acoustic melodies carried along by a beautiful voice..." www.triplejunearthed.comChris Byrne plays acoustic guitar & sings from his heart. The singer/ songwriter was born & bred on the NSW Central Coast & has been sharing his music with audiences for many years. Playing in bands for most of his career so far, he has described his debut solo EP “GLIDE” as the culmination of a long journey home.

His music is intimately honest and melodic. He sings & plays with nothing to prove and his audience responds with a warmth & openness usually reserved for an old friend. Drawing on inspiration from years of searching for real happiness, Chris is one of those soulfully peaceful musicians that you just want to kick back & chill-out to.

Last year Chris earned the No. 1 chart position in the first week of the Triple J Unearthed competition. A few months later he was chosen as an artist in the spotlight for a week and to date he has racked up over 9500 listens and 2700 downloads on that site alone.

In addition, he is regularly charting in the top 20 of the mp3.com.au acoustic charts and this has led to him being chosen as a feature artist for the month of April 07.

All this has been achieved in just over 12 months and with very little or no promotion, steadily building a local presence with regular gigs. With this in mind it remains to be seen just how contagious Chris’s music will be.
